Other determinants of resting metabolism include thyroid hormones and catecholamines, genetics, body temperature, and in women, the phase of the menstrual cycle. An increased release of thyroid hormones or catecholamines increases RMR. Conversely, a reduction in energy intake specifically decreases triiodothyronine (T3) levels and norepinephrine release, which can subsequently decrease metabolic rate.
To see if cancer-causing estrogens need oxygen radicals to produce tumors, Dr. Bhat implanted pellets of the hormone in hamsters that are susceptible to estrogen-induced kidney cancer. This model is widely used as an animal model of hormonal cancer. As expected, when the carcinogenic 17beta-estradiol (E2) was used, nearly all hamsters with the pellets developed cancer within seven months. E2 promotes cell proliferation and produces oxygen radicals when metabolized by the cell.
